I have really got to be better about coming up with titles... I wanted to find a good quote for it but I don't have time.
It's off to school then work all night, busy day ahead of me.
Explored #94 on January 2, 2010 ----> Oh, thank you so much everyone!
I have been tagged by the lovely Westsidebeadery {Barb}. Now I must list 10 things you may not know about me...
1) I am a collector of sorts: my collections include Lucille Ball memorabilia, Audrey Hepburn memorabilia, books (novels, art books, cook books, coffee table books: I have over 500 titles), owl items, decorative cups, and coats.
2) In the second grade my teacher yelled at me in front of everyone for not writing in complete sentences, waded up my paper, threw it in the trash and made me go back to my seat and start the assignment all over again. From that moment on (up until middle school) I would start crying any time I didn’t understand something right away for fear of messing up or looking stupid. I am still a stresser and a perfectionist to this very day.
3) I want a dwarf bunny. Please, someone get me a dwarf bunny. I have checked out so many books on owning them from the library and have fallen in love. I think he/she would be the perfect pet to keep me company in an art studio (Claude, my cat, would get into too much mischief).
4) In my senior year of high school of was voted Youth of the Year by the Hillsboro Chamber of Commerce and was in a parade where I rode on top of a Porsche with my name on the side.
5) I have a horrible time sleeping. I always have so much running through my mind. I am also very sensitive to sound and light and if it isn’t completely quiet and pitch black it’s impossible for me to sleep. I even have sleeping pills that I take but I hate relying on them (besides, they don’t always work for me).
6) I love cooking, ESPECIALLY baking and if I wasn’t an artist and had decided for that to be my career path I think I would have become a baker and would have specialized in decorating cakes. Other dream careers of mine include being a Disney Princess (I swear, if they called me up right now to be Ariel or Snow White I would hop right on a plane immediately), a librarian (which I declared to my parents at the age of five due to my love of reading), Fashion Designer, children’s book illustrator (which I’m diligently pursuing), Zoologist (I absolutely love animals) and Broadway Musical star (Sadly, I cannot sing or dance).
7) For those of you who follow my stream, you know I have been waiting for my CBEST scores to come in. Well guess what everyone... I passed each section with flying colors!! You needed a total score of 123 and I achieved a 154. I am a HORRIBLE test taker so you can't even begin to imagine how happy I was at the news! Thanks to everyone who sent out brainy vibes to me that day. Now I please ask you to do it again the morning of January 9th because that is when I will be taking my Praxis Tests (but more on that later).
8) I took piano lessons for 11 years but hardly ever play anymore (I hate performing in front of people). It is a dream of Cory’s to get me a lovely piano someday so we can accompany each other: Him, plucking the guitar strings and me, tickling the ivories.
9) As much as I adore fashion and dressing up, I would wear pajamas all the time if I could.
10) I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis a little over a year ago. I write a blog about my experiences dealing with this chronic condition. I have a medication/vitamin organizer that features every day of the week on it and has a side for AM pills and a side for PM pills. It makes me feel like such a little old lady.
So, now I must tag 10 others. If you're tagged, make a list of ten things that we don't know about you! Even if you aren't tagged, I would love for you to participate! I can't wait to read them! (Also, if you have already been tagged OR do not wish to participate just message me so I can remove you and pick someone else) :)
Find myself is every time more difficoult.

I've been tagged!
List 10 things that people may or may not know about you, but they have to be true. Tag 10 people, let them know they are tagged, and remember to link back to the person who tagged you. Post a picture on your stream and list your 10 things and 10 tagged people.
1. My name is not Jeniee, it is Jennifer. I go by Jeniee because in high school I wanted to be different and it has stuck, it is who I am now. The burning question that I am constantly asked (before they know my name is Jennifer) … How do you pronounce Jeniee? – just like you would pronounce Jenny. ;)
lol I once heard someone say Genie, like genie in a bottle! :X
2. I am a vegetarian. I have been one for almost 4 years now. I have my days where it is still a struggle, but I am happy where I am at and that is that. I have never once preached my beliefs on anyone and feel like everyone should do as they feel. I personally hate when my fellow veggies preach because they give us the reputation that we have. Let people believe what they want, if they chose to learn more or spark an interest in vegetarianism/veganism, let them do so. But don’t pressure them or tell them they are wrong for their decisions, it’s ridiculous and only scares them off or offends them.
3. I am an only child. My mom says I am her miracle baby, she had me young and had a hard time conceiving after that. I had a brother who was stillborn. I often wonder what it would be like to have him around now.
4. I grew up an Army brat. I traveled the world and saw many places and I am so happy to have been where I have. I wish I could see more and soon hope to. My favorite place was England. I moved there as a teen and left as an adult. I miss it so much and had the best days of my life there.
5. My junior year of High School I was voted Homecoming Princess and my senior year I was Homecoming Queen and Prom Queen. I was also voted “best dressed” and “most likely to be famous”.
6. I am five feet and two inches tall (5’2”). Apparently the women in my family shrink because I used to be 5’2 ¾ . But I look taller because I have VERY long legs for my height. My inseam is about 34”.
7. My absolute favorite thing to eat in the world is Eggplant Parmesan. I always want it and always will, and Cheesecake, oh and Tiramasu!
8. I am a true germaphobe and clean freak. I am not kidding or exaggerating. You may say oh me too! NO. I really am beginning to think I need help.
9. My favorite ice cream flavor is Mint Chocolate Chip. Sometimes I get in debates over this (nothing serious), it is NOT Chocolate Chip Mint. They’re totally different flavors! Mint Chocolate Chip is GREEN mint ice cream with chocolate chips. Chocolate Chip Mint is mint flavored chocolate chips in a slightly mint flavored ice cream, more so vanilla though. Sheesh. ;)
10. I have little to no patience. I can’t really elaborate on that, it is what it is. And I get mad a lot and pretty quickly. When I was in high school they made me take “anger management” which I stopped attending after one session.
bonus facts because my second favorite # is 14 (favorite is 7, which is also my anniversary 7.14, and many other coincidental dates and info for me)
11. I haven’t had a haircut in about 5 ½ years, by a professional anyway. I always cut my hair myself and I don’t know if I ever will let someone else do it again. I have had so many incidents where they’ve cut too much and I hate it.
12. I was born with a birthmark right next to my right eye, but I had it removed in 2001 I think. It wasn’t anything horrid, but I always hated it and had problems with it, so now I have a small scar (which I always photoshop out of my photos).
13. I once went on the “Lemonade Diet” after Beyonce famously lost lots of weight on it for Dreamgirls. I lost a lot of water weight and I still can’t believe I did it. I fasted for 21 days before I gave in and ate again. The bad thing, it involved a salt water “flush” and was disgusting and has put me off salty water forever. I can’t stand being in the ocean when water gets in my mouth now because of it.
14. Another question I am asked a lot… “What ethnicity are you?”. I am very mixed, but the general consensus says that I am ¼ Thai ¼ Greek, (descended from Italy), and ½ Black. There ya go!
Some very boring and random facts about me. :)
If I tagged you and you've done it don't worry.
If you do it you do it, if you don't you don't!
as with so many ideas i have these days, this one almost happened in a field. in the end i used what i call "the secret room" at work. i think it worked out better.
i originally wanted a slightly overhead shot from behind, but those never looked quite right.
this might very well be the most prop-intensive shot i've ever done.
outtakes and a couple other thoughts are here: mentalmomentum.tumblr.com/
black and white only!! This was one of those things where I just started drawing and it worked out. Smol but nice.
Packing fruits and veggies for blending/juicing. The key element is fresh mint. Makes everything better:)
MissChief has been up to no good. She has eaten a rock, and the vet had to opereret it out. So MissChief has ones again lived up to her name. She is doing well and heeling fine.
This weekend Frisbee did see one of the most fantastic places we have near our cottage. There is a lovely nature there.
Had to hop off the platform to the tracks to get the angle right

IN ENGLISH BELOW THE LINE
La FED-10 és una càmera sovietica força interessant. Per una part, és pràcticament la darrera integrant o versió de la "familia" FED, la mare de totes les càmeres sovietiques de 35mm. Però per altra banda, és una càmera mecànicament diferent de les seves predecessores, hereves del model Leica i el seu obturadó textil de pla focal.
La FED-10, per contra, té un obturador central que treballa amb conexió al telemetre i fotometre de seleni. De fet, està en linea i pren inspiració (cosa molt típica de la industria sovietica) de les càmeres alemanes occidentals d'aquell moment, els anys 60. Podeu veure com la forma i el mecanisme es molt similar a càmeres com la Voigtländer Vitomatic IIIb, la Zeiss Ikon Contessa, o la Kodak Retina Automatic. Fou fabricada entre 1964 i 1967 (aquesta el 1965, en concret).
Però d'aquesta càmera en contret, el més interessant és la inscripció dedicatoria que li fou gravada a la part posterior. Està obviament en rus i crec que és aquest text:
Гв-майору Волкову Е. А.
от командования и личного
состава гвардейского
авиаполка за безупречную
службу и войсковую
дружбу
Маи 1972
Amb l'ajuda de diversos traductors, creu que diu, aproximadament:
"Per al major de la guardia E. A. Volkov, de part del comandament i el personal del Regiment Aeri de la Guardia, per un servei implecable i companyonia militar, maig de 1972"
És a dir, que la persona a la qual li fou regalada aquesta càmera el 1972 era un major de la força aeria sovietica, en concret servint en un regiment d'elit. Hi ha la possibilitat que la traducció del grau sigui "general-major", però no quadra amb la comandancia d'un regiment aeri, on el grau maxim sería coronel o similar.
Per desgracia, no indica quin regiment aeri en concret era el que es menciona; juntament amb la data, donaria força informació sobre on fou "presentada" a E. A. Volkov. Potser no es menciona precisament per això...

====================
The FED-10 is a pretty interesting Soviet camera. On the one hand, it is practically the latest member or version of the FED "family", the mother of all Soviet 35mm cameras. But on the other hand, it is a mechanically different camera from its predecessors, heirs to the Leica model and its focal plane textile shutter.
The FED-10 has a leaf shutter that linked with the rangefinder and light meter. In fact, it takes inspiration (very typical of Soviet industry) from the West German cameras of that time, the 60's. You can see how the shape and mechanism is very similar to cameras like the Voigtländer Vitomatic IIIb , the Zeiss Ikon Contessa, or the Kodak Retina Automatic. It was manufactured between 1964 and 1967 (this one in 1965, in particular).
But of this specific camera, the most interesting is the dedicatory inscription that was engraved on the back. It's obviously in Russian and I think it's this text:
Гв-майору Волкову Е. А.
от командования и личного
состава гвардейского
авиаполка за безупречную
службу и войсковую
дружбу
May 1972
With the help of several online translators, I thinks it says, roughly:
"For the Major of the Guard E. A. Volkov, from the Command and personnel of the Air Guard Regiment, for imppecable service and military friendship, May 1972"
In other words, the person who was given this camera in 1972 was a major in the Soviet Air Force, specifically serving in an elite (Guards) regiment. There is a possibility that the translation of the rank is "general-major", but it does not fit with the command of an air regiment, where the maximum rank would be colonel or similar.
Unfortunately, it does not indicate which air regiment in particular was the one mentioned; along with the date, it would give a lot of information about where it was "presented" to E. A. Volkov. Maybe that's exactly why ...
